5/5 #DisabilityPride isn’t easy when support is being stripped away and our needs are treated like a burden.
But that’s exactly when it matters.
Pride is resistance. Pride is survival. Pride is saying: we are not going anywhere.

Welcoming Jenny McAllister & Mark Butler MP to NDIS & disability roles. Broader oversight beyond the NDIS is vital—most disabled people aren’t on the Scheme.
But PM’s comments on moving NDIS into health portfolio are deeply concerning. www.pm.gov.au/media/press-...

Yes! #ParalelPlay #Lines #Patterns and special interest dives are all means of #Autistic play that are unnecessarily pathologised. Personally, I celebrate when I find lines of my child’s most favourite cars/trucks/planes. It makes my #Autistic brain happy.

Yesterday, I got home after the #NationalAutismStrategy launch, culminating years of advocacy & 2 years work on the NAS Council.
But this is far from the end. I didn’t do 2 years work for the NAS to gather dust. I’ll be working to hold the #Gov accountable. Join me!
